Default My first 5k
Did my first 5k on saturday. I'm pretty happy with how it went. It was a bit long, 3.2miles. I did it in 25:53. Much better than I thought. I only got beat by 2 ladies over the age of 60. I've been running 3 miles to train and I've been around 26 1/2 or so, just for 3 miles. I thought my time would be around 27. Just thought I'd share.

Good Job!! 5k's are hard because they're so short you go all out the whole time.

For your first 5K, that's a damned good time (read: I've run 5Ks for two years and still haven't broken 27:00). Congrats!

That is good work, if you plan on doing more 5Ks in the future I would recommend looking up some training routines for them. There are much better routines then just going out and running 3 miles for practice. But seriously good job!

That is great for just starting out. I started out a few years back and I am still shooting for sub 30 but then again I am slow and old. Good Luck with you future efforts.
